Predicted First Class BEng

Junbyung
Park

Mechatronics Engineer / Robotics Researcher

I don't just build — I continuously improve every system I touch. From maintaining F-35 fighter jet facilities in the Korean Air Force to researching multi-robot collision avoidance at the University of Manchester. Currently preparing for PhD research in decentralised robotics.

3D Monitor Arm — Aim at the head!

Control the RPR arm in 3D: first R is Yaw (horizontal pan), P is Height (vertical extension), last R is Pitch (monitor tilt). Match the real servo control from my Raspberry Pi 5 project!
